Restaurants in
Siena
(Back to
Siena main information page)
Siena used to have a poor reputation for restaurants but over
the last few years a range of new, imaginative osterie has
signalled a general rise in standards. Local specialities
include pici (thick, hand-rolled spaghetti with toasted
breadcrumbs), finocchiona (minced pork flavoured with fennel),
pappa col pomodoro (bread and tomato soup), and fagioli
all'uccelletto (white bean and sausage stew).
Putting together a picnic in the Campo or elsewhere is easy: you
can buy pizza by weight from many central hole-in-the-wall
places, or phone an order ahead for quality, fresh-baked pizza (whole
or by the slice) from Mister Pizza , Via delle Terme 94 (tel
0577.221.746; closed Sun). Gourmet supplies are at the
extravagantly stocked food store Manganelli, Via di Citt?71.
Natural Planet , Via delle Terme 70, has organic foods. The
covered market south of the Campo in Piazza del Mercato is also
good for picnic provisions, and every quarter has its bakery.
We've divided the listings below by price: expensive means an
average full meal (excluding wine) costs above 30.99 per person;
inexpensive means you can eat for 12.91 or less; mid-priced is
between the two.
